Giulio Cesare Procaccini (1574-1625) and his older brother Camillo Procaccini (1551-1629) were versatile Lombard artists, particularly prolific in fresco. Many church ceilings in northern Italy are still animated by work they executed four hundred years ago. Three generations of successful Procaccini artists kept the family style alive, much like the Carracci dynasty in Bologna and Rome.
